Wallowa County Inmate Roster

The Wallowa County jail roster tracks inmates held at the county jail in Enterprise, Oregon. Wallowa County is a rural area in the northeast corner of the state with about 7,000 residents. The Wallowa Valley is home to small towns and wide open land. The Sheriff's Office runs the jail and keeps the roster current. You can search for people booked on local warrants, holds, or new arrests. Because the county is small, the jail often holds just a handful of inmates at any given time.

Wallowa County Booking Details

Each booking at the Wallowa County jail creates a record. This record holds the inmate's name, date of birth, arrest date, charges, and the agency that made the arrest. Common arresting agencies include the Wallowa County Sheriff, Enterprise Police, and the Oregon State Police.

Booking records are kept at the jail and at the Sheriff's Office. They are public records under Oregon law. You can ask for copies in writing. The office may charge a fee to cover the cost of making copies. Under ORS 192.324, public bodies can charge fees that do not go beyond the actual cost of making the records available.

In a small county like Wallowa, booking records may be fewer in number. But they still follow the same rules and formats as larger counties. Each record ties to a court case at the Wallowa County Circuit Court once charges are filed.
